The Lumia 505,510 & 610 is one of the phones easier s in the range of smartphones with Windows Phone and includes 256MB of RAM and 4GB of storage . For this reason video calls require applications efficient to maintain stability, good image and sound quality.
Below are the two apps we suggest you from the blog.
Also read : Top 5 apps for android to make free calls
1. Viber
Calls are made via VoIP like Skype but has some aspects that outperform the most popular application segment and those are: High quality sound for voice communication, the ability to create groups of up to 16 people and option to share locations and WhatsApp .
Besides its Metro interface is pleasant and intuitive. The service uses your phone number as user ID and makes an automatic synchronization of your contact list.
Requires at least Windows Phone 7 .5 Mango.
2.Tango Video Calls
The tool allows you to make voice calls that can instantly become communications with audio and video . It uses very simple, intuitive and does not require you to register to use it.
Works great in every way, the sound and picture quality is excellent and its minimalist interface will guide you through each of the functions. Requires at least Windows Phone 7.5 Mango to run and the Nokia Lumia 705 applications greatly exceeds Skype.
Which of these applications you most? If you liked the post you can share it on social networks .
The good news is that all hope isnt lost if you misplaced your device or someone stole it.
Apple has a software called Find My iPhone, which does a very good job in retrieving and wiping devices amongst other features. However, sometimes, Find My iPhone just wont work when you go to www.icloud.com to find your device and this is even more true when your device is jailbroken.
If your device is jailbroken, you wont be able to wipe your device remotely and some features may not even work at all.
So, with all these issues with Apples security and tracking software, what options are available out there especially for jailbroken devices?
Well, below is a list of Find My iPhone alternative apps that you can find through Cydia and App Store. i have tried and used some for a while.
1. iTracker: This software is great an very useful. you can find it via the Cydia store if your device is jailbroken. This app is powerful and it is an AntiLost and Tracking app for iPhone. Its not free though except you download a cracked version from sinfuliphone repo.
2. iGotYa: This is another powerful tracking and anti theft app. Its more simple than the previous one. it allows you to take pictures of the thief secretly if you have front camera and also get the location of your phone. You will need to protect your device with an unlock code and iGotYa will do the rest. Also, the user can gain access into the phone or device even if the wrong passcode was entered but all your data (SMS, Call History etc) will be inaccessible.
The reason for the app allowing the thief to gain access is to discourage the thief from wiping and reloading the device.
you can find this app from Cydia
3. Cylay: This app is my favorite of all the tracking and anti theft app have used. Very simple and works flawlessly. It is the first anti-theft and security iPhone software in the world. It supports real time locating,locking and tracking of your device. This software is on Cydia and its free to download with 30 days trial and just $20 for a year.
4. ServiceMonitor: This is also an online mobile monitoring app. you can remotely destroy/wipe your phone, force it to ring (even if on vibrate), lock the screen, track and map the phones location at regular intervals.
You can download the free trial if you need it.
5. iHound: Wonderful application. A close relation of Apples Find My iPhone. It tracks and protect your data too. You can use this app to track and locate your device if stolen. It sends your phones location to iHound servers every 10 minutes by default. This timing can be changed if you like.
Its a great app and you should try it out. Subscription is mandatory if you really want to enjoy this app.
There it is folks, a short list of Tracking and Anti-Theft Find My iPhone alternative apps. Its not advisable to have all these apps installed on one device as they will consume a lot of RAM, battery power and also data since they have to constantly connect to a remote server, internet etc.
Try out all you can and stick with the best and delete the remaining you dont really fancy.
If you know of any other ones that are great, please share and lets know about it.

We don’t have to tell you that the workforce is increasingly mobile, and that workers on the go expect to be fully productive on email and calendar from their mobile devices. But we do want to tell you that we have a few new features for Google Sync users that will help employees work efficiently from anywhere on their iPhones and iPads.
Google Sync keeps your phone’s native mail and calendar apps in sync with your Gmail, Calendar and Contacts. Today, three new updates to Google Sync for iOS will allow you to:
- Search all your emails in Gmail, not just the emails stored locally by the iOS mail app.
- Accept, decline or edit calendar events from the iOS calendar app.
- Send email from the address you want. We recognize that some of you manage multiple email addresses from a single Gmail account.Gmail’s “Send Mail as” feature lets you send messages with another email address listed as the sender instead of your Gmail address, e.g. joe@altostrat.com instead of joe@gmail.com. Now the iOS mail app will respect these settings.

Nokias chief executive Stephen Elop have given a reason why Nokia didnt choose Android to replace Symbian in 2010 when it decided to ditch Symbian OS from its phones and replace it with the struggling Microsoft OS for mobile, Windows Phone OS.
were respectful of the fact that we were quite late in making that decision. Many others were in that space already."

FX series: Wide-angle 24mm, large aperture f/2.2, HD video recording
The Lumix FX700 is the latest premium FX model that features 14.1 megapixels 1/2.33" sensor, wide-angle 24mm with 5x optical zoom up to 120mm, large aperture, and full-HD (1080i) recording. The large 3" LCD offers full touch control and the image processing is achieved using the new Venus Engine FHD, which claims to produce cleaner images at high ISO and faster frame-per-second (fps).
The Lumix FX75 is similar in spec to the FX700 except half-HD (720p) recording and the older Venus Engine HD II, targeting at the price-conscious buyers.
For comparative purposes, the LX5 uses a 10.1 megapixel 1/1.63" sensor, same 24mm wide-angle, and a large f/2 aperture. It only records video in 720p resolution, though. With a hotshoe that supports attachments like EVF, the LX5 caters for the professionals who desire a compact alternative to carry around.
Wide-angle 25mm, 24X Ultra-zoom FZ series
Similar to the new FX pairing, Panasonic announces the FZ100 and FZ40/FZ45. Both also uses 14.1 megapixel 1/2.33" but FZ100 uses the CMOS while FZ40 uses CCD. The FZ100 can capture full-HD while the FZ40 supports half-HD. FZ100 uses the new Venus Engine FHD while FZ40 takes the Venus Engine HD II.
Waterproof FT series
FT10 is Panasonics latest waterproof camera model, a lower-spec version than FT2. Sporting 14.1 megapixels, the lens spec is f/3.5 (vs. f/3.3 on FT2) with 4X zoom (vs. 4.6X) from 35-140mm (vs. 28-128mm). Minimum focusing distance is 50cm (vs. 30cm on FT2). The FT10 is certified waterproof up to 3m (vs. 10m on FT2) and drop proof up to 1.5m (vs. 2m on FT2). The FT10 is not certified freeze proof unlike FT2. The mini-HDMI connector on FT2 is also absent on the FT10.

First, we hit an important milestone as we began full production of the Xbox One console recently. The culmination of many years of listening to you, our fans, developing innovative technology, and partnering with the best game and entertainment partners in the industry has brought us to this point. There is still a lot more work to do, but the teams are making excellent progress and are focused on launch.
Speaking of launch, we’re now in a position to share that Xbox One will be available on Nov. 22, 2013 in all 13 of our initial launch markets – Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Mexico, New Zealand, Spain, UK, and USA. Many more markets will follow in 2014.
As a result of this incredible consumer demand and the development progress on Xbox One, I am thrilled to share that today we are making available a limited number of additional Xbox One Day One consoles for pre-order. We have coordinated with our retail partners to make it easy for you to reserve your Xbox One today.
Finally, in the spirit of continuing to bring new value and excitement to Xbox, I am also pleased to confirm that the development team has increased the CPU from 1.6GHZ to 1.75GHZ, roughly a 10 percent increase in CPU performance. This is on top of the 6% increase we previously announced for the GPU. What does this mean to you the gamer? It means that the Xbox One will have that much more power for developers to make their games and entertainment really shine. We’re going to keep bringing more value to the Xbox One as we head towards launch building on some of the advancements we have already shared such as the 40 plus improvements to the Xbox One controller, advancements to help you find the perfect opponent and make the most of our online community, to the power of the cloud.

Xolo is trying to move into a new premium space with the launch of its Q3000 smartphone. While most of its launches have been products in the range of Rs. 7,000 to Rs. 12,000, this new device is one of the companys most expensive ever, with a launch MRP of Rs. 20,999. To justify that price tag, Xolo is throwing in the kind of banner features that everyone else is advertising in their own flagship phones today: a full-HD 1920x1080-pixel screen, large battery, quad-core processor, and camera thats sensitive in low light.
International brands that sell phones with such specifications ususally price them at Rs. 35,000 or more, so were curious to see whether Xolo is actually trying to match their performance, or is simply offering something that appears to tick all the right boxes but doesnt perform as well in the real world.
Look and feel
The Q3000 arrived for testing in a very smart-looking white box. The front is mostly unadorned, but the back has a list of features and highlights. The box slides open with a light pull, and the phone itself sits right on top. Beneath it is a compartment that holds the bundled flip case and screen guard, and below that are two more compartments which contain the battery, USB-OTG dongle, charger, headset, and printed quick start booklet. Its all very neatly presented, which made us even more eager to put the phone through its paces.
The Q3000 itself is unmistakably a mass-manufactured Android phone. You definitely wouldnt mistake it for a Samsung or HTC phone. Little things, like the rubberized plastic finish of the rear cover and the plastic assembly around the camera lens and ports, look a bit cheap. Construction quality is fairly solid, though. We had no complaints with the buttons or the way the phone is put together.
The rear cover peels off when you pry it a bit with a fingernail. You have to work your way around the edges of the phone to release five or six clasps before the entire thing pops off. Beneath the cover is a cavernous space for the phones 4,000mAh battery, in addition to slots for two SIM cards and a micro-SD storage card. Strangely, the primary SIM card slot takes only the older mini-SIM size but the secondary slot needs a micro-SIM.
As with most phones this size, the power/standby button has been moved to the upper right edge, approximately where your thumb would be if you held the phone in your right hand. The volume rocker is exactly opposite it, and theres nothing else on the sides. The headset jack and micro-USB port are on the top, while the bottom is blank. In another strange design decision, the primary microphone for voice calls is on the back. The phones tapered edge means its still pointed downwards, but were going to have to test for ourselves whether or not this is a problem.
Features
Xolo really has tried to pack everything it can into the Q3000. Its billed as a non-stop entertainment device, so the first thing we need to check is the screen. Thankfully, Xolo has used an excellent panel. The full HD resolution of course means that every little detail is crisp and clear. Colours are clean, but a little muted. We were especially pleased with the viewing angles. Of secondary importance is the sound, and its here that we were disappointed. The phones speaker is just not powerful enough at all. Its surprisingly soft even at full volume, and we werent impressed at all with the quality and depth we of what were able to hear.
There isnt much to get excited about with the Q3000s camera. When seen at their full resolution of 4864x2736, photos are grainy and artefacted. Thankfully theres enough headroom to scale them down, which definitely improves their sharpness. Theres an HDR mode which works quite well, exposing areas in shadow alongside those in bright light. Nighttime performance, however, is a whole different story. The flash barely made a difference in poorly lit areas, and there wasnt much of the scene we could make out at all.
(Click here to see full size.)
Videos are recorded in 3GP format. At 1080p, these were sharp enough for us. Focusing was a bit laggy, but otherwise we had no complaints.
Software
The Q3000 runs Android 4.2.1, which is quite old now. Were not sure that this phones target audience will care all that much about such details, but its worth noting for future compatibility issues. There isnt much modification to the basic Android OS, but Xolo has bundled a few apps. Xolo Power is a neat tool for monitoring the health of the battery. It shows how much time youre likely to have left for various tasks such as audio playback and 3G browsing, and also reports whether the general health of the battery has deteriorated. On another tab, you get quick access to battery saving features such as a Night Mode and Sync Frequency. The last mode actually has nothing to do with the battery: it shows you how active each of the four CPU cores is, and shows you which applications have crashed recently.
Xolo Secure is an anti-theft and security app that lets you remotely track your phone, make it sound an alarm, wipe out all personal data, and take photos of anyone who tries to unlock it. If the phones SIM card is changed, the app will send alerts to up to two preregistered numbers and your email address. The app itself can be locked down with a 6-digit PIN. Finally, while Google automatically backs up contacts, the app promises to also back up your SMS and call history databases.
Another interesting touch is what Xolo calls "one-handed mode". With a long press on the Back button at any point, the entire interface shrinks to about two-thirds its size and appears to run inside a window. You can drag this window around the screen, which remains black. Its designed to help people reach all corners of the screen when holding the device in one hand, which is an admirable thought. However, the windowed mode is extremely sluggish. It feels like were running a remote-access session to a phone somewhere far away. You really cant get much done in this mode, which makes us question the way in which it has been implemented.
Performance and battery life
The Mediatek MTK6589T that powers the Xolo Q3000 isnt exactly the newest or most powerful piece of silicone available. It was launched in late 2012, and even then, it wasnt at the top of the heap. Its based on ARMs relatively low-powered Cortex A7 processing core, which was specifically designed for low-power, low-intensity applications. Graphics are handled by an integrated PowerVR SGX544 GPU: again, not exactly cutting-edge technology.
As a result, the benchmark scores are not impressive at all. In fact, the performance numbers across most of our tests indicated that this phone performs barely half as well as todays high-end phones from mainstream brands. CPU performance wasnt all that bad: we recorded scores of 15,130 in AnTuTu and 5,832 in Quadrant. Graphics performance, on the other hand, was quite abysmal. The phone managed to push out only 3.4 frames per second in the GFXbench test, and 1,879 in 3DMarks Ice Storm Extreme test.
By now, our expectations had been tempered and so the video playback test results werent a surprise. The Q3000 was able to handle video files in various formats at resolutions up to 720p, but 1080p was completely unwatchable. Some of our test files didnt play at all, others were completely mangled, and only one played with heavy stuttering. Its a bit jarring for a device to not be able to play video at its own native resolution - and that includes videos recorded with the phones own camera.
The scores show that the hardware simply isnt up to the task of pushing anything more intensive than simple 2D graphics on the full-HD screen, which is a shame. You wont notice much of a problem if you only run basic apps, but modern games are pretty much out of the question.
Despite the massive 4,000mAh battery, we were surprised that our video loop test ran for only six hours and twenty minutes. Weve had phones with similar screens and smaller batteries last for well over 10 hours under exactly the same conditions.
Verdict
The Q3000s price will attract some of the buyers who were looking at Samsung and HTCs larger offerings but were put off by the high cost. If you only want a big-screened phone for the sake of having a big screen, youll be happy with this phone. Not only is the size impressive, but the full HD resolution gives it a sharpness that other models with 720p screens cant compare to. However, having an HD screen in this case wont mean you get to enjoy HD content.
With a lower-grade panel, Xolo could have put out a much better balanced phone at a lower price. We wont deny that the screen looks fantastic, so if you want your apps to look good and arent concerned with movies and games, theres nothing stopping you from buying this phone.

RPG titles are perhaps the most immersive games around. They grip you with deep and rich stories that not only connect you with the characters you play, but they thrust you into the danger of battle and test your decision making skills. Which attack to use, which spell to cast, and so on. There are many types of RPG games, some of the best of the year have been Final Fantasy V, Final Fantasy IV The After Years, Ravensword Shadowlands, Dungeon Hunter 4, Symphony of the Origin, Tales of Illyria, and Fortuna Magus. RPG games continue to captivate gamers with vast adventure beyond untold imagination.
Runner Up: Final Fantasy IV
The Final Fantasy series is widely popular and loved by many fans the world over. Thankfully we’ve been lucky enough to receive the first five games in the series with the sixth on the way. Final Fantasy IV is quite possibly one of the best in the series, and the Android version is a port of the DS remake of the original game. It has a rich storyline that forges a bond between the gamer and each character within the game, which is further strengthened by the voice acting and hours upon hours of gameplay. FF IV has the active time battle system as well as the augment system which allows you transfer certain abilities between characters. Final Fantasy IV is a classic that remains among the top RPG games of all time. You can grab yourself a copy of Final Fantasy IV from the Play Store for $15.99.
Winner: Drakerider
Drakerider is another RPG title from acclaimed game studio Square Enix, but is a completely original game for mobile. It is because of this along with the compelling use of story and RPG action were used to from Square that has earned Drakerider our award for Best RPG of 2013. The unique battle system that is set up within the game is different from any other RPG. Instead of actually fighting with the games main character, you attack with a powerful dragon which you control. Choosing your attack potency is as simple as dragging your finger across the screen to tighten or loosen the chains which bind your drake. You’ll need to be careful not to loosen them too much however or the drake can go berserk and kill you. Its truly a unique experience for an RPG. The graphics are also top notch. Since you’ll be battling with your drake, you’ll have to develop his abilities to make him stronger. Drakerider also presents the you with a choice on which abilities you do and don’t want to learn. Picking certain abilities will close off the path to others, so make sure you choose wisely. You will have to decide for yourself which ones are more important on your journey. The combination of an excellent story, amazing graphics, originality and most important of all fun, make Drakerider the best RPG of the year. If you want an original RPG experience unlike any other, you can grab Drakerider from the Play Store.
